Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head

ABSTRACT

A “Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head” is a device used to floss the teeth. A handle with a storage chamber in which the coiled floss thread is stored, is fixedly attached to a Spring-Type Head that includes a substantially U-shape flexible arm and two substantially cylindrical shape fixtures. Each piece of the floss thread is placed and secured between the said fixtures. Due to the flexibility of the said arm, a constant suitable tension of the floss thread is maintained at all times. Using the device, while flossing becomes possible with one hand, it gives the user a much more effective and easier flossing experience.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present invention is a continuation of the U.S. provisional application No. 62/521,379, dated Jun. 17, 2017.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention is a “Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head”, and hence, it can be categorized under the technical field of devices and instruments used for improving oral health. More specifically, the invention comprises a handle with a hollow body that acts as a storage chamber in which the coiled floss thread is placed, a Spring-Type Head that is fixedly attached to the said handle and two substantially cylindrical shape fixtures on top of the two ends of the said Spring-Type Head between which a piece of the floss thread is placed, secured and used for removing the food debris and particles from the spaces between the teeth of the user.

BACKGROUND ART

The devices designed and made for flossing the teeth are well-known in the art. Users have a number of problems and difficulties using the said devices. These devices seem not to be adequately effective. Followings are a couple of examples of such devices can be found in the prior art.

DENTAL FLOSS DEVICE WITH A GUIDE POST is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,289,836 A, issued to Chien-Lun Peng on Mar. 1, 1994. The device is a dental floss device with a guide post for removing food debris and dental plaque during orthodontic treatment. The guide post includes a guide post of a uniform small diameter and a floss bonded thereto. The guide post has a semi-spherical tip for sensing position to ease insertion of the guide post between the clearance which is formed by teeth and the orthodontic appliance. The dental floss device is formed by injection molding.

Given the technical details of the above invention, this flossing device has a problem that is common among numerous flossing devices previously invented or introduced to the market. The problem is the possibility of unwanted decrease of the tension of the floss thread during the flossing. The present invention, however, due to its design, does not have such technical problem, making the flossing much more effective.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,538,023 A, issued to Boguslaw Oczkowski and Ingram S. Chodorow on Jul. 23, 1996, discloses a TENSIONING DENTAL FLOSSER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME that has A disposable dental floss holder for removing plaque and food debris from tooth surfaces and from the interspaces between teeth has a handle part, a bow and a length of dental floss spanning the bow. A movable element is provided which can cause a portion of the floss holder to move and tighten the strand of floss and thus momentarily reduce slack in the floss.

The invention further includes methods for manufacturing floss holders with slack in the floss, and for manufacturing floss holders with operable components for momentarily reducing slack which was designed into a flosser or which developed in the flosser due to stretching of the floss. The floss holder designs vary to include multiple bows on a single device, and to reduce the slack by moving selected parts of the bow.

Preventing the floss thread from getting slack when flossing, is in the focus of the above invention. In comparison, the present invention enjoys a simple structure and design which increases its reliability. It also offers the same feature as the above invention with much more effectiveness.

Michael Dougan, Paul Sullivan and Conor Kennedy disclose a DENTAL FLOSS DEVICE in the U.S. Pat. No. 7,059,334 B2, issued on Jun. 13, 2006. The device is a dental floss device that includes a handle having a head piece and a disposable holder for a length of dental floss. The holder includes a base portion and a pair of spaced-apart jaws extending from the base and which extend to embrace the head piece of the handle when the holder is in a correct alignment configuration with respect to the handle.

The device has an interlock which ensures that the holder can be inter-engaged with the head piece only when the holder is correctly aligned with the head piece. The interlock includes a head interlock part provided by interlock grooves and a holder interlock part provided by corresponding interlock tongues. There are two interlock grooves and corresponding interlock tongues which slidably inter-engage when the holder is correctly aligned with the head piece.

If the holder is turned so that it is not correctly aligned with the head piece, the interlock tongues of the holder prevent engagement of the holder with the head piece. Thus there is no risk that a user will incorrectly align and engage the dental floss holder with the head piece.

Apparently, efforts have been made in the above invention to keep the floss thread in the right position. However, in the present invention, the floss thread can have a constant suitable tension during the flossing. Using the present invention, the effectiveness of the flossing is notably increased.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The following details are brief summary of the subject matter that is described in greater details herein. This summary is not intended to be limiting as to the scope of the claims.

Technical Problem

The general purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a new device to floss the teeth. The present invention is intended to increase the effectiveness of the flossing and to make the flossing easier.

In order to assist users with flossing, numerous efforts have been made so far, a couple of which were explained in the background art.

One of the important technical problems of the existing flossing devices is the unwanted decrease of the tension of the floss thread during the flossing action.

The main purpose of the present invention is to eliminate this problem.

Solution to Problem

The general purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a new device to floss the teeth by which the unwanted decrease of the tension of the floss thread is prevented during the flossing. The effectiveness and the ease of the flossing is considerably increased by this new flossing device.

In order to achieve the above objects and the objects stated herein below, the present invention provides a Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head which is composed of a hollow handle and a Spring-Type Head.

The handle is hollow and made of durable and suitable water-proof materials. The handle is further composed of a storage chamber, coiled floss thread, a floss thread indicator (a transparent portion of the body of the hollow handle which allows the user to see the inside of the storage chamber as well as the stored coiled floss thread) and a lid at the bottom of the handle. There is a narrow passage, created from a cut at the rim of the lowest part of the handle that when the lid is closed, serves as a passage for the floss thread. A cutter blade is also mounted on the outer layer of the lid for cutting the floss thread at a desired length. The handle has a flat side for easier application and better control of the handle.

The Spring-Type Head is fixedly attached to the handle. It is made of suitable water-proof materials such as a suitable water-resistant spring-type metal and a spring-type metal that is coated with a suitable protective coating like plastic or chromium.

The Spring-Type Head may be fixedly attached longitudinally vertical to the handle and along with the longitudinal axis of the handle.

The Spring-Type Head may also be fixedly attached to the handle longitudinally and slightly bended comparing to the vertical longitudinal axis of the handle to increase the comfort of the user and the ease of access to the spaces and gaps between the teeth, and hence, to increase the effectiveness of the flossing.

The Spring-Type Head is further composed of a substantially U-shape flexible arm and two substantially cylindrical shape fixtures on top of its two ends.

There is a threading slot, cut vertically from the top side of the body of the said substantially cylindrical shape fixtures up to nearly the middle of the body of the said substantially cylindrical shape fixtures, wide enough just to let the floss thread to pass through the said threading slot. The axes of the two threading slots are aligned with each other and with one same line.

At the exterior sides of the lowest point of the two threading slots, there are two substantially hemisphere hollow spaces to accommodate the two knots on each piece of the floss thread and to secure the positioning of each piece of the floss thread between the said two substantially cylindrical shape fixtures firmly and tightly.

It is noteworthy that the width of the threading slots is such that it easily let the floss thread to get in and get out of the threading slots. However, the threading slots are not wide enough to let the knots on each piece of the floss thread to pass through. This feature enables the threading slots to selectively let the passage of the floss thread and to prevent the passage of the said knots.

In other words, the design and the sizes of the threading slots as well as the said substantially hemisphere hollow spaces are such that each piece of the floss thread together with its knots can easily go inside the threading slots and the said substantially hemisphere hollow spaces, but cannot come out of the said substantially hemisphere hollow spaces and threading slots, unintentionally.

Since the device has a Spring-Type Head, when the floss thread is placed between the two ends of the Spring-Type Head, a suitable tension of the floss thread is maintained between the said two substantially cylindrical shape fixtures at every single moment.

In other words, in case the tension of the floss thread is decreased during flossing, the two ends of the Spring-Type Head react simultaneously and compensate the said decrease. Therefore, the suitable tension of the floss thread is maintained automatically at all times.

In addition, as an alternative embodiment, plastic balls can be used on the floss thread instead of the said knots. A suitable technology—such as the method used to manufacture beaded plastic chains used to control and move window blinds—may be used to make and attach these plastic balls to the floss thread.

Moreover, as another alternative embodiment, the handle and the Spring-Type Head of the Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head could be made and manufactured as a whole integrated embodiment. In such case, proper manufacturing methods as well as suitable and durable types of water-proof materials such as suitable plastics could be used to make and manufacture the Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head.

It is noteworthy that due to the manufacturing method and used materials, the threading slots and substantially hemisphere hollow spaces could be positioned directly on the top of the flexible arms of the Spring-Type Head instead of having substantially cylindrical shape fixtures on top of the said flexible arms and positioning the threading slots and the substantially hemisphere hollow spaces in the said substantially cylindrical shape fixtures.

If the above said alternative is used, a flexibility gap may also be added to the device to enhance the flexibility of the flexible arms.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head 1, hereinafter abbreviated as “FDST” 1, generally presented in FIG. 1, includes a handle 100 and a Spring-Type Head 200.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 3, the handle 100 is hollow and made of suitable and durable water-proof materials. The handle 100 has an ergonomic design.

The handle 100 has a flat side 103 for easier grip and better control of the FDST 1. The said flat side 103 helps the user to determine the direction and positioning of the Spring-Type Head 200 of the FDST 1 inside the mouth space when flossing, enabling the user to move the Spring-Type Head 200 inside the mouth space with more precision and comfort.

The handle 100 is further composed of a storage chamber 102, coiled floss thread 122 (that has no core in its center) and a lid 104 at the bottom of the handle 100. There is a narrow passage 110, created from a cut at the rim of the lowest part of the handle 100 that when the lid 104 is closed, serves as a passage for the floss thread 126. Using the lid 104, the refill of the coiled floss thread 122 in the storage chamber 102 becomes possible.

The handle 100 is also composed of a floss thread indicator 108 that is a transparent portion of the body of the handle 100 which allows the user to see the inside of the storage chamber 102 as well as the stored coiled floss thread 122.

The coiled floss thread 122 is uncoiled from inner side of the center of the coiled floss thread 122 to prevent any accidental disturbance of the uncoiling process and to ensure the smooth uncoiling of the coiled floss thread 122. There is a cutter blade 106 on the outer layer of the lid 104 for cutting the floss thread 126 at a desired length for flossing.

Along the floss thread 126, there are numerous knots 124 on the floss thread 126 in specific and designated intervals. Two consequent knots 124, a short length of the floss thread 126 before the first and after the second said consequent knots 124 and the floss thread 126 between them form a piece of the floss thread 126.

Using the cutter 106, the user can cut a piece of the floss thread 126 including two knots 124 on each piece of the floss thread 126 and use it for flossing. The knots 124 are necessary to secure each piece of the floss thread 126 in its right position.

The Spring-Type Head 200 may be fixedly attached to the handle 100 longitudinally vertical and along with the longitudinal axis of the handle.

The Spring-Type Head 200 may also be fixedly attached to the handle 100 longitudinally and slightly bended comparing to the vertical longitudinal axis of the handle to increase the comfort of the user and the ease of access to the spaces and gaps between the teeth, and hence, to increase the effectiveness of the flossing.

The Spring-Type Head 200 is made of suitable water-proof materials such as a suitable water-resistant spring-type metal and a spring-type metal that is coated with a suitable protective coating like plastic or chromium.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, the Spring-Type Head 200 is further composed of a substantially U-shape flexible arm 202 and two substantially cylindrical shape fixtures 206L and 206R on top of its two ends.

There is a threading slot 208L or 208R, cut vertically from the top side of the body of the said substantially cylindrical shape fixtures up to nearly the middle of the body of the said substantially cylindrical shape fixtures 206L and 206R, wide enough just to let the floss thread 126 to pass through the said threading slots 208L and 208R. The axes of the two threading slots 208L and 208R are aligned with each other in one line.

At the exterior sides of the lowest point of the two threading slots 208L and 208R, there are two substantially hemisphere hollow spaces 210L and 210R to accommodate the two knots 124 on each piece of the floss thread 126 and to secure the positioning of each piece of the floss thread 126 between the said two substantially cylindrical shape fixtures 206L and 206R firmly and tightly.

It is noteworthy that the width of the threading slots 208L and 208R is such that it easily let the floss thread 126 to get in and get out of the threading slots 208L and 208R. However, the threading slots 208L and 208R are not wide enough to let the knots 124 on each piece of the floss thread 126 to pass through. This feature enables the threading slots 208L and 208R and the substantially hemisphere hollow spaces 210L and 210R to selectively let the passage of the floss thread 126 and to prevent the passage of the said knots 124.

In other words, the design and the sizes of the threading slots 208L and 208R as well as the said substantially hemisphere hollow spaces 210L and 210R are such that each piece of the floss thread 126 together with its knots 124 can easily go inside the threading slots 208L and 208R and the said substantially hemisphere hollow spaces 210L and 210R, but cannot come out of the substantially hemisphere hollow spaces 210L and 210R and the threading slots 208L and 208R, unintentionally.

In operation, in the first step, a desired length of the floss thread 126 is pulled out of the storage chamber 102 through the passage 110 and using the cutter blade 106, it is cut by the user.

Then, pushing the two ends of the substantially U-shape flexible arm 202 towards each other and holding them, the user is required to thread one of the two ends of the floss thread 126 through one of the two threading slots 208L or 208R and secure the corresponding knot 124 in the corresponding substantially hemisphere hollow space 210L or 210R.

After doing so, and still holding the two ends of the substantially U-shape flexible arm 202, the user is required to thread the other end of the floss thread 126 through the other threading slots 208L or 208R and secure the corresponding knot 124 in the corresponding substantially hemisphere hollow space 210L or 210R.

Then the user is now required to release the two ends of the substantially U-shape flexible arm 202. As a result, the floss thread 126 becomes snug and taut between the two substantially cylindrical shape fixtures 206L and 206R with a suitable tension.

The Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head 1 is now ready to floss the teeth. When one piece of the floss thread 126, secured between the two substantially cylindrical shape fixtures 206L and 206R, is used and needs replacement with a fresh piece of the floss thread 126, the used piece of the floss thread 126 can be removed by pushing and holding the two ends of the substantially U-shape flexible arm 202 again and removal of the used piece of the floss thread 126. Then, a new piece of the floss thread 126 can be placed in the right position in the same manner described above, for flossing.

Referring to FIGS. 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, as an alternative embodiment, the handle 100 and the Spring-Type Head 200 in the above described embodiments may be designed and manufactured as a whole integrated embodiment. In such case, suitable and durable water-proof materials such as suitable types of plastic should be used to comply with the manufacturing method requirements.

In addition, due to the method of manufacturing and the materials used, there is no need to the substantially cylindrical shape fixtures. Instead, the threading slots 308L and 308R as well as the substantially hemisphere hollow spaces 310L and 310R can be designed and made directly on the flexible arms 314L and 314R.

Moreover, a flexibility gap 312 is also added to the device to enhance the flexibility of the flexible arms 314L and 314R.

As another alternative embodiment, plastic balls can be used on the floss thread 126 instead of the said knots 124. A suitable technology—such as the method used to manufacture beaded plastic chains used to control and move window blinds—may be used to make and attach these plastic balls to the floss thread 126.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

The Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head can be used to assist the individuals to floss their teeth.

Whereas in other words, the design and the sizes of the threading slots as well as the said substantially hemisphere hollow spaces are such that each piece of the floss thread together with its knots can easily go inside the threading slots and the said substantially hemisphere hollow spaces, but cannot come out of the substantially hemisphere hollow spaces and the threading slots, unintentionally. 17: A Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head, as defined in claim 1, wherein as an alternative embodiment, plastic balls can be used on the floss thread instead of the said knots. Whereas a suitable technology—such as the method used to manufacture beaded plastic chains used to control and move window blinds—may be used to make and attach these plastic balls to the floss thread. 18: A Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head, as defined in claim 1, wherein as another alternative embodiment, the handle and the Spring-Type Head of the Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head could be made and manufactured as a whole integrated embodiment. Whereas in such case, proper manufacturing methods as well as suitable and durable types of water-proof materials such as suitable plastics could be used to make and manufacture the Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head. 19: A Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head, as defined in claims 1 and 18, wherein if the said alternative embodiment is used, due to the manufacturing method and used materials, the threading slots and substantially hemisphere hollow spaces could be positioned directly on the top of the flexible arms of the Spring-Type Head instead of having substantially cylindrical shape fixtures on top of the said flexible arms and positioning the threading slots and the substantially hemisphere hollow spaces in the said substantially cylindrical shape fixtures. 20: A Flossing Device with Spring-Type Head, as defined in claims 1, 18 and 19, wherein if the said alternative embodiment is used, a flexibility gap may also be added to the device to enhance the flexibility of the flexible arms.
